The chosen houses are the Blas House in New Sevilla (Madrid
For me these houses represent a very different type of
architecture in the way they interact with their environment and itself in the
way they are conceived.
THE BLAS’ HOUSE Blas House in Sevilla la Nueva (Madrid
THE HOUSES IN SAN MATIAS’ NEIGHBOURHOOD (Granada) from
Juan Domingo Santos; as an example of pragmatic architecture, born from the
needs of the inhabitants and favoured by neighbour’s agreement for the common
benefit.
THE HOUSE IN CORRUBEDO (Galicia) from David
Chipperfield; as an act
of rebellion, built against its surroundings, inside out the native tradition
in order to face the potential qualities of the landscape.
However these houses have a common point, there were
conceived as homes, for different people, with different feelings and ways to
live and understand the daily life.
The video shows, from my own experience what should define a Home, over the differences of
architecture and its possibilities. Apart from the idyll or the functionality.
